Ingredients and substitutions

I like to use dried rosemary when making this vinaigrette, but you can substitute fresh rosemary if you prefer. If using fresh, increase the amount to two teaspoons.

I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil in this rosemary salad dressing, but you can substitute any type of oil you prefer. Avocado oil would be a good alternative.

Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier in this vinaigrette, allowing all the ingredients to bind together and thicken nicely. I prefer to use a smooth variety of Dijon mustard (as opposed to the grainy kind) when making this dressing.

How to make rosemary vinaigrette

Add the white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and salt to an airtight container with a tight fitting lid.

Shake well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the dressing has thickened slightly.
